Cleaning recommendations for black seats on Model 3?

What recommendations on cleaning and treating black seats for Premium Interior? I bought a cleaner on Amazon but after reading up a bit more determined the solution might be a bit harsh, and it smelled like wet hay!
Any recommendations from other Model 3 owners with black seats would be appreciated.

Black interior cleaning question

I would check the owner's manual to see what Tesla recommends. That said, it sounds like many people use a general purpose interior cleaner from any of the major manufacturers such as Meguiars, Griot's Garage, or Carguys. I personally like the inteior cleaner from Chemical Guys "Inner Clean" as well as the Fast interior detailer from Mckees 37. Both clean great and have a very pleasant scent.

Diluted Optimum No Rinse (ONR) is a fantastic and safe interior cleaner...not to mention you can obviously use it for rinseless washes. What i do is take 1 capful and put in 32 oz of distilled water. It is a great *mild* all purpose cleaner like this. Spray on, agitate if you want, wipe off.

I like using Optimum Protectant Plus as a "topper" on clean seats as it reduces friction, provides a protective top-coat vs. spills/dirt, and also has strong UV protection. Its is also mildly scented and easy to apply.
